Are there any good April Fools jokes today? For example, a few years ago Google announced a sewage based ISP (i.e. flush some fiber optic cable down the toilet and they would fish it out and connect it).
The only one I have come across is IGN article about the Nintendo Virtual Boy Pro.
savagegeese (car youtube) put out an outstanding and genuinely hilarious video about a convertible Nissan SUV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6vprgDHFw0
20 minutes is way too long for a joke video.
worth it tho
For an IRL example… I explained April Fools Day to my 4 year old kid this morning for the first time. His first instinct was to wrap a piece of Lego in foil and have me write CHOC on it, then leave it outside the bedroom door for my wife (who was having a lie in). I think he gets it!
He’s been holding on to that prank for 4 years
Context: BBC broadcast this on April 1st, 1957. A lot of people fell for it, seeking advice on growing spaghetti trees on their own. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti-tree_hoax
Now I Know?
At the time spaghetti was relatively unknown in the UK, so many British people were unaware that it is made from wheat flour and water.
Spaghetti was unknown in the UK in 1957? My spaghetti history is woefully inadequate. The American school system failed me.
The real prank was the American education system all along 🥲
Yes, I’ve been known to partake in some. Was sitting in the front seat of a bus, and the buses have a rule where, at all the train tracks, they’re supposed to briefly stop and open the bus doors to see if they hear any train coming before closing the door and driving onward again. The bus had stopped to do just that, and at that very moment, I played a train sound effect I had ready on my phone. The bus driver looks around and is weirded out by the “seeming invisible train”.
Google Japan always pulls a joke about how they’ve developed a new better Google Japanese Keyboard.
So far there’s been a spoon you bend to different angles to select characters, and a giant keyboard key you wear as a hat and use by reaching up and spinning it to point in the cardinal direction of a given character, and then enter it by pressing the single giant key-hat thing.
It’s especially funny with Google being such a massive monolithic company, and there’s the Japanese branch just doing their own thing.
I also participate in the Titanfall modding scene, and each year for April fools the Northstar master server displays everything in uwu language.
Thank you for sharing!! All of those Gboard videos are absolute gold lmfao

Nothing online I’ve found is interesting. But I bought a pack of “Student Driver” magnets, and put it on my car enthusiast friends Porsche. Haven’t heard anything yet, so im hoping its still on. Might throw a new one on whenever I notice its gone.
If left on, those things can scratch the paint. Dirt from the road works its way in. I had a friend who destroyed the paint job on his car with one. He had it on a pretty long time tho.
Sadly I feel like this tradition is drying up more and more each year. I remember like 10-15 years ago tons of sites did really big things for the day. I honestly forgot today was April 1st until I saw this post. I miss it.
My son (5 y/o) walked into my office and said “dad! I brought you something”. I assumed it was a piece of Easter candy because he had a hand behind his back. I asked him what did he have.
He turned around, let out a huge fart, and said “Fooled you!” Then he put on his cowboy hat and walked out of the room.
Yep, gottem.
Aha, Billy The Skid
Satisfactory’s developer Coffee Stain Studio made a Satisfactory Direct video
It’s under two minutes so it has a pretty good joke/time ratio
The folks over at [email protected] have been weighing books all day which has been fun :P
Windows is very clean and performs very well
I think The Lockpicking Lawyer (YouTuber)has consistently put out good April’s fools videos. I do have a sophomoric sense of humor though, and they are all based on innuendo.
My kids mom made him a “cake”. It was actually meat loaf with dyed pink mashed potatoes instead of frosting.
